It's been 7 months since I made the terrible mistake of swapping Old Blog for new blog. So far, all the things people want from new Blog are missing, and instead Wix keep adding in daft updates to it - we still can't alter the text font/size in a post, can't alter the layout, can't even schedule posts in the future, can't link featured/relevant posts to a new one - New Blog is a basic notepad and my blog now looks amateurish and basic, not even remotely professional and I've noticed a slow decline in users/readers. The photo/image editor is shocking, worse than Paint. Three sizes to post images in, and they mess with formatting? It just looks cheap, outdated almost like you've stumbled across some inactive website from the late 90s. I know a Wix admin mod will come along and say all those things are being worked on, go to wishlist and vote, but I shouldn't have to. Wix should be providing a cutting edge blog, that's what we pay a great deal of money for not this wikia-style basic stuff. it took them a month to remove G+ links for godsake. And why are all my photos linked to Pininterest, I don't want that. And what happened to right-click protect? It's been downgraded yet we're supposed to keep paying the same amount for less functionality. So disappointing.

1) Can you elaborate more why you need ability to use different font families in different posts?
why wouldn't I want to? Why am I stuck with one font that you define? What if I want to quote someone, alter it to make a point, personalise in the slightest?
2) "Can't alter the layout", you are talking about feed or post page?
actual post page - the Old Blog treated a post the same as any other page, you could add other links, pictures, feeds, anything to make it look like a webpage and from there I got lots of hits as people navigated from a post to another post/page. Now my Bounce rate is terrible. Literally dropped to nothing the day I switched to new Blog.
It's just not fit for use as a review website where you expect interaction, Wix has realigned as an e-commerce site it seems, bloggers are out. New Blog is just incredibly basic - you even reduced the photo editor to the less capability than a phone's photo editor. what happened to adding graphics, altering to any size, moving them around a post? now it's just centre/left/right and at 3 presets which resize as it sees fit.
It's just no longer a place for bloggers or those trying to maintain review-style websites. if you're running a hipster cafe or a ebay page wix is for you.
Great, good answers there Wix. FFS.
Simonas: I hope I never have a job like yours where I have to make bad excuses for a terrible product. THE NEW BLOG SUCKS - IT IS TERRIBLE - I am so thankful to God I do not have to apologize and make excuses for an awful awful product. Good Luck - but to keep some dignity tell the truth or resign.
